LARDING-PIN.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters :Pai'ferttl N0. 7 00,185, dated. May 20, 1902:.

Application iiled February 25, 1901l Serial No. 48,746. (No model.)

To all whom it may concern.:

Beit known that I, HEINRICH EBEETS, a citizen of Germany, and a resident of Crefeld, Germany, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Larding-Pins, of which the following isa specification.

This invention relates to a larding-pin by means of which the larding of the meat is greatly facilitated.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 is a side View of my improved larding-pin, showing it closed. Fig. 2 is a side View, partly in section, thereof, `showing it open; Fig. 3, a View at right angles to that of Fig. 2; Fig. 4, an edge view of the cap d,showing it detached; Fig. 5, aside view thereof; and Fig. 6, a side View of the larding-pin, showing the cap attached in section. i

The larding-pin is composed of a pair of long and narrow Shanks a,which are pivotally connected at a and terminate in handles a2, so as to resemble a pair of tongs. AtY their forward ends the Shanks a are widened to form jaws b, which are hollowed and may be provided with serrations b. Beyond the jlaw's 2 5' b the shanksl a are pointed, as atc, and overl each of these points is adapted to be fitted a; capd, having a point d'. The pointed caps d are removable, so that they.. may be readily' cleaned or interchanged to suit finer 0r coarser 3o meats.

In use the jaws carrying the caps are forced through the meat, are thenopened for'the inf@- troduction of the leaf-lard or bacon, and after' being closed are drawn back, so that the fat 3'5' is retained within the meat.

What I claim is;-

A larding-pin composed'of a pair of pivot*- ally-connected Shanks havingjaws, and of removable pointed caps adapted to be Vfitted 4o -over said jaws, substantially as specified.
